Storing parts increases. work in process and results in âbatchâ. processing, which subsequently defeats. the purpose of lean manufacturing. In. addition, smaller, minimal size worksta-. tions and machines eliminate unneces-. sary steps taken by the worker between.
Hot season strategies How much water do cows need in hot weather? Allow for 200 - 250 litres per cow per day in hot weather - double what cows usually need each day. Make sure cows have access to plenty of cool drinking water wherever they are during the day. A big water trough on the exit side of the dairy is a must. Provide a minimum of 0.75m water trough space per cow at your feed-out facility. Water pipes should be 75mm in diameter, with suddicient pressure to provide 20 litres per cow per hour, so that troughs cope with periods of peak demand.
So a 1000 lb lactating beef cow may drink around 15 to 20 gallons per day, whereas a 1000 lb lactating dairy cow may drink around 30 to 40 gallons a day. If a certain feed is higher in salt content than another, a bovine will drink more water to counteract the amount of salt that is found in the feed.
